I subscribed to 60MB speed and the speed is OK for LAN but my wifi devices cannot reach this speed, anyone knows why?

    Check if your device support 802.11n or 802.11ac. Because the wi-fi standard 802.11g has a maximum speed of 54 mbps in theory but in practice it is more like 11 mbps. For exemple an older computer will support the of 100 mbps speed for the wired Ethernet connection but it wireless card won’t reach that speed.

    It can depend on how old the device is(they don't support newer protocols). For example, my ipad mini can reach 20-25 mbp, while my cell phone can reach 60 mbps on the same wifi network

    What it says is your wifi can reach 60mbps

    You’ll rarely hit the 60 on wifi anyway

    in fact sometimes it reached 62M but, it goes back to 33M, which is desappointing

    In my Router, I had the previous speed detected as max speed in the QOS.
    May be try to re-test the speed from the router to maximize the available download/upload speed with the new provider.

    Same for me here.
    I cannot get the 60Mbps. I have tested several times, the max one is 33Mbps for DL, while the UL is always around 10Mbps. The test is made on the laptop.
    I use only WIFI, not the Ethernet cable. I turn on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, as my laptop is not new enough to support WIFI ac.

    You can reach 60M with your iPhone but not the iPhone X so the problem is the iPhone X.
